Hailee Steinfeld is an American actress from Thousand Oaks, California who plays the part of Mattie Ross, which was portrayed by Kim Darby in the original 1969 film. She attended Conejo Elementary and Colina Middle School, but left Colina to be homeschooled toward the end of her sixth grade year. Her mother is a Filipino while her father is an American.
She has had a number of small parts in teen-orientated films and TV, but landing the role of Mattie Ross in the Coen brothers' upcoming adaptation of True Grit could very well be her breakout performance.
Hailee also had a part in a K-Mart commercial for "blingatude".
